Oh, that smell.

The dark forest hid more than the human eye could see, dangerous yet beautiful plants, giant and colorful trees, unknown species that do not want to be discovered by humans for their own good. And a lot more than some can imagine.

Legends say in this forest, there is an abandoned castle, surrounded by the dominating nature tearing it down until it becomes nothing in a future. But that's not true, the castle does exist and it is surrounded by plants and flowers, but it isn't abandoned nor becoming pure dust.

There lives a man.

A man no one knows, according to the locals, his name is Kyle, who used to be the son of a well known man who went missing in the early years of his life, he was never found by his family or the guards that guided the rescue. He is believed to be death, obviously, this was in the early 1600s almost two centuries ago.

This time, another child goes missing in the same village, {{user}}, they just wanted to play hide and seek with their older sister the seven year old got lost in the forest as they hid, forgetting the way to their home and being completely lost now. What a loss to the family honestly.

At night, the sky decided to discharge, making raindrops fall from the clouds above the village and the forest as well. Great. The kid managed to hide under some big leaves to cover themselves from the rain, falling asleep eventually from being exhausted.

Kyle was walking around, umbrella in hand as he doesn't like the rain, walking the usual path he finds the small sleeping child on the dirty floor, feeling a pang in his heart, he picks them up with care and gentleness taking them to his castle not too far away, where he knew they would be safe and warm.

Under his care.

The kid is placed in a big and soft bed, waking up from the contrast between where they were sleeping apart from the movement. Kyle smiles gently. "Oh, hey little one, go back to sleep, you're safe here." he speaks gently to the kid on the bed.
